Listening – Lent course
We can talk BUT how good are you at listening? Come and find out at our second session tomorrow at 8pm in the St Andrew’s room. There is also a chance to attend the earlier meeting at 2pm in the St Andrew's room. So Listening in Lent is our series of evenings sessions at St Marys’ considering ‘listening’. We will think about ‘listening to God’ (8th March) ; ‘listening to ourselves’ (15th March) and finally ‘listening to the world’ on 22nd March.These gatherings are open to everyone and light refreshments will be served on each occasion. The afternoon session will be timed to finish in time to allow anyone fetching children from school to do so, returning for refreshments if they wish.

Children’s Mid-week services

Reordering Programme Phase 2
- list of possible items for sponsorship
We are very grateful for generous donations towards the costs of both phase 1 and phase 2 of our church re-ordering. Phase 2 work is moving forward. This work includes the cleaning and moving of the Victorian font back to its traditional position near the ‘way in’ to the church, and the transformation of the 1920s baptistry into a space for peace and prayer. Just as in the past people have wished to sponsor, for example, stained-glass windows for the blessing of future generations, so some might now wish to donate some tangible item or aspect of the remaining work. This may for example be in memory of someone who was near and dear to them and has died. Others might simply wish to leave a tangible legacy for future generations in the ‘fabric’ of the church.
If you have a desire to sponsor any of the below items then have a word with Roy Jarvis 762064 or Marilyn Fletcher 764177 (Treasurer). Sometime in the coming year, when the Bishop’s diary is free, we will invite him to come to St Mary’s to preside at Parish Communion (perhaps including Baptism) to celebrate the completion of phases 1 and 2. Thank you to all who have sponsored items for the project.
1. Decorative tiles for font surround. 8 tiles required £625 each - All 8 tiles have been sponsored now!
